In principle, it's the image that appeals to a person most. What's unwordable is seemingly nonexistent. And yet, photography, just like the word, is the art of bringing the invisible into light. Bringing into being. The evidence that reality is multipolar. And in this diversity I always seek beauty. The esthetic nature of man. Myself. It's nice for a moment to be The Creator. Nevertheless, one had better leave it unsaid.
